The brain webinar series - Stroke
The brain is one of the most complex organs. It controls all functions of the body, interprets information from the outside world, and embodies the essence of the mind and soul. Intelligence, creativity, emotion, and memory are a few of the many things governed by the brain. The brain controls our thoughts and speech, movement of our arms and legs, and the function of many organs within our body.
What happens if it fails? Stroke occurs when blood cannot get to your brain, due to a blocked or burst artery, and can have a devastating effect on your brain. Join us to find out more about the brain, and the effect stroke can have on it’s function, in the first installment of our webinar series. The webinar will include information about novel diagnoses and therapies from bench to bedside and back!
